You all have so many GREAT suggestions. My niece is 49. She loves this rides and says you know. I wouldn't tell you something just to make you ride it. My son said the same thing. I am going to focus on having a good time and hopefully will ride it. Life is good

My aunt was a two time cancer survivor and usually timid on rides, but not at Disneyworld.

You have been through a LOT worse than a Disney ride...they are all pretty tame, IMO.

Just try it. You'll love it!!!

I'm a big baby when it comes to rides and I did Expedition Everest and it wasn't that bad at all. Disney doesn't make really scary rides that go upside down and have steep plunges. Their rides are more "theme". Don't worry too much ahead of time. Write down on a piece of paper that you'll tackle whether or not to go on the ride when you get there. If you start getting anxious remind yourself what you wrote on the piece of paper and it'll calm you down. It isn't worth it to get worked up ahead of time. And, Disney is about enjoying yourself. You shouldn't let the thought of going on rides torment you ahead of time, you're an adult and you'll decide what you want to ride on. Your niece can ride alone as many do at Disney if you don't want to go on. Don't put too much pressure on yourself.

If you don't want to ride it--don't. Tell her ""I'll hold your purse for you."" And find a comfy place to people watch.

Enjoy your trip....you deserve it!

I would take time and let your niece ride her favorite ride a time or two and you can sit out awhile and rest or vice versa. I haven't been to Disney World in probably 30 years but I always thought the rides were rather lame. I remember the anticipation of Space Mountain (is it even still there???) and was so disappointed. Perhaps they cater a bit more to the thrill seekers now but years ago, I don't think they did.

hi-first & most imortant i want to congratulate you on being cancer free. that's great. & i think it's wonderful that you & your niece are going to disney world together to celebrate. i know nothing about the rides there, however being you said you like some rides, & since you rode the biggest, toughest, hardest, & most scarey ride of your life ever, in my opinion, i think you'll be able to handle any of the rides disney has to offer. i don't think you should dwell about any of the rides until you actually arrive @ disney with your niece & once you get in that theme park atmosphere i think any 2nd thoughts you might have had about any of the rides will be long gone. especially when you realize the reason why you both are there. please understand i'm in no way telling you to go on any ride you're not comfortable going on, i'm just saying i think you'll be fine on all the rides, because i think you're a very, head strong woman. battling cancer is no easy fight. it takes every ounce of your inner sole out of you. like i wrote earlier, you fought your hardest battle ever. you sound like a tough cookie. so just go & have a great time with your niece & go on the rides your comfortable with again lot's of luck on being cancer free. my best wishes to you.
